    New A-Frame owner

    :signhavefun:Hi all My dear wife and I recently traded our Surveyor hybrid for a Rockwood A194 HW. We are new to A-frames but not new to camping. We owned three popup's before the hybrid. So far the downsizing has went very well. We've camped 10 days, so far, learning to adapt to the smaller...

    Where can I find a used FR Hardside A-Frame?

    I've been researching A-frames and I am SOLD on FR ... But (I understand) FR has not been making these for very long... I know they are reasonably priced new (compared to other a-frame makers) but I'm on a real tight budget and I thought used would be a way to save $$$ Any suggestions? Thanks...

    For Sale: SOLD- A124 A Frame - reduced to $9,500

    Bought it new. It is just over a year old. Stored under a carport its whole life. Used a few times, not enough to justify its payment at my house. My wife has family commitments that keep us from camping for a while. The only mod of significance is that I added a diamond plate truck box between...

    New A Frame Questions

    We're picking up our new T12RB this Friday and thanks to this forum, we will be doing a series of mods right out of the gate. I have a few questions for the brain trust here: 1- Does a wiring and/or plumbing diagram come with the camper? 2- What is the part number of LED bulbs to replace the...

    First lesson in the new A frame...

    I learned my first "hard way" lesson about our camper last night. (Yes, I was sleeping in it in the yard again. Don't judge me.) I had the small slider window at the head of our bed opened to get some air. (Why else would you have it opened, Wojo?) Some major storms rolled through, and...

    A-Frame Jack

    I have a 2009 Grey Wolf 18RB and want to upgrade my manual jack to a Barker VIP 3500/24 Electric jack. Before I order the jack the Barker is a 2 1/4" dia jack, will it fit my camper? My camper is in a storage facility and I can go measure it but thought I would see if anyone else has...

    Winegard HD antenna in A-Frame

    DH surprised me with a Winegard HD antenna a few weeks ago & that prompted me to go buy a new hd tv/dvd combo unit to go with it for the A-Frame. Ordered parts from FR so DH could fabricate an off the counter tv mount but meanwhile, the A's kitchen shelf just became an entertainment center for...

    Hey All! New RVer here!!!

    Hey RVers! I just bought my very first RV! I know it's just an A-Frame pop up camper, but I'm proud of it! I've never done the RV thing, but have always been an outdoorsman and love to camp. Not a hunter though, not a huge fan of killing things. Recently I relocated from Calgary for a job...

    A-Frame Pics: Lets help each other through the winter!

    Ok, after pushing my winterized A126 into the garage I figured "Hey! We need an A-Frame Actions Shots" thread to help us all get through the winter. I figured seeing some of your favorite shots all in one place would be fun and helpful to those that may be considering an A-Frame as their next...

    How well would our A Frames work in the

    event of a disaster like Super Sandy? If there was no power, could we still operate the heater? I thought I read that we needed electricity to run the thermostat? Could you just turn it on and off manually? What things have you done, or could you do, to try to make them into an emergency...

    Storage of A frame

    Hi All, Was just reading over some horror stories of A frames getting water and mold inside. Some of us don't have the luxury of storing inside, and I don't either. Two questions passed my mind: one, would an ordinary tarp take care of this, and would a tarp add problems of their own, ...

    A-frames; Am I the only one?

    It seems everywhere I go in my T10RD, people want to see it because they've never seen one before. It was like that in BC and the Yukon last summer but nothing compared to this camp in northern Manitoba I just finished. The first evening I set up, no less than seven people and one dog stopped...

    A-frame on wildwood x lite angled

    We have a wildwood x lite which we purchased new this spring. I've noticed that the front A-frame is angled slightly up from the parallel rails towards the tongue. Does anyone know if this is normal construction? I've inspected the point where the frames meet & didn't see any cracks or bends. I...

    How do you load up your A frame for a trip?

    Hi everyone! I'm captivated by the A frame units and will be buying one in the near future (looking at a 128S). Just waiting on the CFO approval. I'm currently camping in a '95 Coleman Utah which has a lot of room. I'm curious how you all load your units for a week of fun. I understand that...

    New interior lights for the A-frame

    We decided to change the interior lights so that each side of the fixture could be turned on independently. Found these on amazon and they work wonderfully!!!! Installed the LEDs we had purchased a couple weeks ago, and I'm a happy camper!!! (pun intended!!)

    Dinette Tables Modification A128s

    This past week we decided to move the smaller table in our "U" shaped back dinette to the front dinette position in our A128s. This frees up a huge amount of space in the cabin! Our modification assumes you have a model that has the 2 dinette configuration. We bought an extra pedestal leg...

    Magic Mesh screen door for A-Frame

    Hi All Thought I would share our solution for a fill length screen door for our Hard side. This is a Magic Mesh screen door (cost $15-). I folded over and stitched the fold flat on each panel (each panel was narrowed to 10-1/4" to 10-1/2") to fit it to the narrow width of the door (20-1/2 ")...
